Just as people with expertise in organizing workers (in this case affiliated with AFT and others) have been involved with and supporting  the pro-union teachers, there will be anti-union people involved in trying to defeat it.

To me, the administration appears to have been caught off-guard and is finally catching up with a counter PR campaign. Expect more to come and it will get nastier. Their message to parents will probably be that the teachers are naive and don’t know what a union would do to their school, they are being used by nefarious forces who want to ruin our school. There will be a more threatening tone taken in messages with teachers, trying to chip away at the 90-staff who have joined the fledgling union.

Also - If you could FOIA records at a charter you could determine whether the Administration has hired legal and PR people to organize people against the union. My hunch is that groups like FOCUS will do it on their behalf.

The pro-charter/pro school choices forces in DC are freaked out by this. It was one thing when some Chavez teachers did it at one Chavez campus. For an HRC to do it is far more threatening.
